Description

A British DIY Essential: The Wilko Half Round Hand File

The Wilko Half Round File is a specialist manual abrasive tool engineered for versatility. At ECO Heat Shop, we prioritise high-utility hardware that supports a sustainable “do-it-yourself” approach to home care. Instead of reaching for power tools for small adjustments, this hand file offers the tactile feedback and precision required for delicate shaping tasks on metal, wood, and composite materials.

Built for the rigours of the home workshop, this file features an 8-inch (200mm) blade length—the “goldilocks” size for UK DIYers. It is large enough to remove significant material on the flat face but tapered enough at the tip to reach into tight corners and refine small radius curves. It is the perfect companion for anyone looking to maintain their home or garden equipment with professional-grade accuracy.


Key Features & Professional Benefits

  • Two-In-One Profile: Eliminate the need for multiple files; use the flat side for straight edges and the convex side for rounding off corners or smoothing out pipe interiors.
  • Precision Second-Cut Teeth: Featuring a medium “second-cut” grade, this file provides a clean finish while still offering fast stock removal on mild steel, brass, and timber.
  • Integrated Hanging Hole: The ergonomic handle includes a reinforced hole for easy storage on a workshop pegboard, keeping your tools organized and accessible.
  • Safe & Secure Grip: The bi-material handle is designed to prevent slipping, even when working with oily or damp hands in a garage or shed environment.
  • Sustainable Maintenance: A high-quality hand tool that requires no electricity, making it an eco-friendly choice for off-grid repairs and light metalwork.

Expert Tip: To extend the life of your Wilko file, always use “draw filing” for a super-smooth finish—grasp the file at both ends and push/pull it sideways across the workpiece. To prevent the teeth from clogging (especially when working with soft metals like aluminium), rub a little bit of chalk into the teeth before you start filing.
